Bingo! These two blue variants look otherwise identical, but-for the "VET" mark.

Yep. Look to be the same, other than maybe the felt being an ever so slightly different color (could just be lighting for the pic). The blue on that Dodgers VET pennant looks just like the blue on my Astros VET pennant.

Still interesting that perhaps many or even most of a specific design would have the VET mark.

And now, just because it is something different, I'll kill some time over the next few months looking for the orange on front and white on back Giants pennant. Should be easier and more affordable than trying to win something from REA.

Speaking of REA, I obviously wanted the 3D Giants pennant but just couldn’t justify $1600. With that said, I’m surprised it didn’t go for more.

I wasn’t following other than when the guy said he consigned to REA. I am surprised it didn’t go for more myself.

I had little intention of buying the Yankees 3D Pennant. But it’s my favorite of the four, and was (by far) in the best condition of the 3 being offered.

Why it went for so much less than the others is a mystery to me. Those 3 are all equally rare (behind the Red Sox). So I couldn’t lay off of it, given the low price it was at. And even though I’d already spent my wad with Lelands, I ended up getting it.

Now it’s time to sell some stuff!

It was the first REA auction I can recall in which there were actually bargains to be had. I think that two things had a big affect on Memorabilia prices in REA...

1. Newly enacted sales tax probably knocked off a few bid increments
2. Too many auctions all at once...

LOTG
Paragon
Lelands
Goldin
Hunt Internet
Hunt Live
Heritage Internet
Heritage 3-stage Catalog
Mears
Nodder Exchange
Inside the Park

All within 9 days of one another. And SCP + Grey Flannel both coming shortly. Just a ridiculous number of auctions bunched way too close together.

Time for me to buy some stuff!

I am still looking for the Dodgers, the tear in the knapsack scared me off the numbers it was getting. Congrats to both the buyer and seller and Mark, you’ll love the Yankee pennant!

Thanks Greg...

I agree it was a good decision to back off the Brooklyn pennant, given the torn sack and the big price it was getting. Looks like your other two are in stellar condition, and beautiful. That Giants pennant (holding the tiny ball) is off the charts cool.

Also relieved to see that these pennants fit into a top loader. I was really worried that the Yankees protruding Top Hat would prevent it from fitting inside the sleeve.

What’s extra cool about these pennants is that all the printing has a felt like surface to it, but it is rigid (i.e. it cracks like paint). Very unique! I only saw the Red Sox pennant once and I think Rick H. won it.
